(5021.621 Spain 15, the L PI ODltXHB11U1 at the spring resting shaped at 2 t0 present in arecess 16, Big. 6, in the spring-seat 8. The buttholder is thus in a. manner interposed between the spring-seat 8 and the plate 3, and is movable within one of the slots 7, rocking about the shoulder 9, the outer end 01' the holder having lateral lugs l7 adapted to bear against the portions of the plate 3 between the slots 7.

1i unopposed the spring operates to press the butt holder into the slot as iar as it will go, such movement being limited by the stop-lugs l7 and the rocking connection at 9 ol' the inner end oi the butt-ladder with the plate. 4 l I The plate 4 at the outer end of the leeder has a short inturned hub 18 which slips onto the sleeve 5 and is held in adjusted position thereon by a set-screw L), Fig. 1, so that the distance between the plates 3 and 4 may be varied to accommodate filling-carriers of different lengths.

The plate 4 is provided with tip-sustaining means, and herein 1 have shown the plate peripherally thickened at 20, the thickened portionhaving a series oi circularly-arranged cup-like depressions or seats 21 or seats 21 it is unnecessary lor the weaver to be particularly accurate-in seating .the tips when placing fillingcarriers in the feeder, as the tip will naturally and readily seat itseli' properly when introduced to a depression.

' As will be seen from Fig. 10 the tip-suslaihing plate 4 has a continuous or unbroken circular edge or periphery 23, and there are no movable parts, springs or othcrdevices adjacent thereto, so that there is nothing to catch or pinch the filling-end either before or during transfer of a filling-carrier from the feeder to the shuttle.

The filling-end t, Fig. l, is led directly" from the tip end of the filling-carrier over the continuous edge23 of the plate 4 to the filling-end holder, to be referred to,

and finds its own resting place on said plate. This economizes the time oi the weaver very appi'eriably, first because. there are no notches or recesses on the plate 4 to receive the filling-end, and secondly because the weaver does not have to decide which notch to use.

With feeders having filling guides or notches on the plate iorming the outer endoi the feeder it ol'ten happens in practice that the weavers use the wrong guides or notches, causing improper operation ol the m'echanism when a fillingarrier is transferred, such as misthreading when the filling-carrier is inserted in the shuttie.

The cnddiold'er is shown as a bell-shaped disk 24 having its peripheryauitched at 25, as usual, the hub 26 being clamped by ZI SLt-SCI'OW 27 onto the end of the sleevedike hub .5, which extends beyond the plate 1,

' as shown in Fig, 1,

By loosening the set-screws .19 and 27 the plate 4 and. the end-holder can be moved toward or away lrom the plate 3;'toaccomniodate the particular length of the fillin -carriers to the used, and the end-hoider (an be also adjusted independently of and with relation to the plate 4.

'lhe filling-end t is led over the smooth edge of the plate 4 to and over the edge of the disk 24, being posi-- tioned thereon by a notch and the end is lu'ought to and wound around a stud 28 secured to the disk 24, as shown in Fig. 1.

From the hiregoing description it will be clear that the tip'sustaining devices for the lilling carriers are fixed with relation to the plate 4 and hence relatively to the filling-feeder, and that thebuttdiolders are movably mounted on the feeder, and controlled by the springs 15. 4

A. dlling-carrier may be placed in the ieeder by first inserting the tip into one of the depressions 21 and then the butt b is pushed into the open end oi thepocket 12 of the opposite butt-holder. pushing the latter away irom the plate 3 as the filling-carrier is finally positioned.

The spring 15 is located directly back of the longitudinal axis of the iilling-carrierwhen positioned, and practically concentric with such axis, and when the carrier is in place the holder seats directly and wholly upon the butt end thereof, and not upon any part of the plate 3, as will be plain from Fig. 1. In other words the butt-holder is held away from its ordinary seat on the plate, with the result that the fiat end of the butt comes in contact with the flattened bottom l3 oi the pocket of the holder, the consequent firm frictional engagement acting to prevent any turning of the Iillingmarrier while'in the feeder.

As the butt-holder is seated wholly upon the butt of the filling-carrier the pocket bottom is inevitably squarely against thecnd oi the butt, at right angles to the axis oi the carrier.

The butt-holder can rock about the shoulder 9 as a fulcrum when a filling carricr is being positioned and thereafter the holder is moved bodily to unseat the bottom of the notch or groove 11 from the part of the plate 3 adjacent the shoulder.

l have herein provided a novel and eflicicnt abutment for the leading Iillingearrier of the series in the .feeder, so sustained that it can yield in practically any direction toward the front of the loom, in order to accommodate itself to slight irregularities in the shape or size of the butts of the filling-carriers or the rings thereon. I

Upon the shelf-like portion a of the stand A I bolt the foot 29 of a substantially L-shaped seat bav' ing an upright body 30, clearly shown in Figs. 3, 4 and 9, made to present a loop 31 at its upper end and having a spring seat 32 in its face below the loop.

A transverse lip or ledge 33 is formed on the bottomof the body, which is also provided with a central depending [in 34, see Figs. 4 and 9.

The abutment is made as a casting-havim a body 35 provided with extensions 36, 37 at its upper and lower ends, the extension 36 being reduced in width .to pass through the loop 31 and hooked at 38 to 'engage the top of the loop, which latter prdvents lateral displacement of the abutment at ils upper end. The extension 37 has a central notch 39 to straddle the I'm 34 on the sent, and said extension is upturned to form books 40 which cooperate with the lips 33, a coiled spring 41 seated in the recess 32 acting agail'lst the body of the abutment to press it rearward, maintaining the hooks 38 and 40 in engagement with the adjacent portions of the seat, the hooksof the abut/- leave 'lhe feeder in lb ooopno r i u led with the (-oopern All such time the abutment is positioned as slrmu in 3 and l, Lhe exposed In e 42 of UK: nbul :nenl; being slig-hll; convexed irom top to bollom and also having a. diagonal rib or guide 43 thereon see Fig. 8,4110 guide being inclined to Ward the inner end of the fillingfeetler.

The butt of tho leading filling-carrier of the series in the feeder enr'uzes Lhe abutment, as shown in Fig. 3, so than in; L;- trnnnl'elfrer flis operated to re move ouch filling-earner nncl insert it in the shuttle the abutment; will guide and supporlzthe butt (luring Linus er.

Owing to the diornlion oi the supporting spring 41 for the abutment the other may tip or rock thereon, it inny be moved lorwmd bodily, 01' it may be governed by n oombinulion of such movements, in order to'aclnpl, or accommodate itself Lo rho butt and the ringu on the latter Silllr: over its convex face 42.

The nbu tment is ensily rmnovnblo in vase of wear, and im Spring. ncni 'lllereupon to 'mai utnin zmeven pressure onfiho filling Trier While in the feeder and also during transfer.
